# 6% of the votes (so far) going to racists and homophobes, kind of a big deal....
careful now..

# yet,
I'd imagine maybe 6% of the population ARE secret racists and homophobes. I actually thought they had 'become more mainstream' and would get a lot higher as ordinary people might get confused and vote for them.

# lovely interview just now on BBC three counties radio
with a newly elected UKIP councillor in Hertfordshire and a UKIP voter, they got as far as calling gay marriage abhorrent and immoral before the interview completely fell apart.

I know people are entitled to their opinions, but that's worrying

# If I was Scotland I'd be loading up on stone and fixing on rebuilding Hadrians wall.
After independence you're going to want to keep the barbarians out.

# Also the stone will be useful for other things, like basic hammers and axes
As that will be the level of technology they'll be at after 2-3 years of independence.

# I agree,
They just seem to have nabbed the more rabid Tory voters.

# Everyone is bigoted in some way
Most people are too embarassed/restrained to act on that bigotry in public (good!) and this vote is just a tiny minority who have decided to voice their opinions in a realtively harmless way.

Also these are the bloody EU elections. They won't get anywhere near this level of support when it comees to a general election and especially if the voter turnout is higher.
